no i LOVED your tease at nagel, what i was a-iming at was your mention of choking and laughing at his post, I was just saying choking and laughing wasnt the ONLY thing I did, I had a few other thoughts I figured best not to post

PS WHY couldnt the word "a i m i n g" be passed ...?? I think the editor needs to read a dictionary .

My name comes from a long proud history, bestowed upon the clan in 1314 by the Great Bruce after one of mi ancestors sent Edwards army home, tae think again. After the battle, as the English forces slithered away from Bannockburn, King Robert turned to sir James (the Black Douglas) and said "ere jimmy, who was yon mad basti that wuz beitin the ears oer the English?" Sir James turned and in a proud voice said "Aye, thas oor Hamish's lad: Jock, he's a reet wallopper, a proper Mcmadd basta." Then the Bruce, acknowledging my ancestors battle skills replied,
"Christ, hape e dinae have bairns, that's aw we need, a whole clan ae Mcmadd basta's." And so it came to pass the Mcmadd clan was formed with the blessing of the King of Scotland.

Aijin is romanized Japanese. The Kanji "Ai" prounounced "aei" like the "A" sound in the word Asian. Translates to the word Love. And "jin" prounounced "gin" translates to Woman. So, put the two together and you get "lovely woman" or "woman in love". >.< or something like that. Then again someone also told me it could translate to "geisha". *LOL*

Either way, it was given to me by by a very close friend and I have kept it ever since. (Aijin is also my nickname outside of the internet.)

Is that not cultural enough? Albeit the lack of literary referencing?!

My name comes from a forested area and falls that is not far from where I live. It is a Native American name from long, long ago. Being Native American myself and not wanting to use any of my real names on a dating site, I adopted the name from the area that I love to visit when I have the time.

Mine comes from location.. I live in Northern New Hampshire at the base of a mountian (MT. Washington). In the winter here it's not uncommon to get -50 below weather.. It's also common when its that cold to have winds that will literally freeze your skin in minutes. For some bizare reason I actually like the weather here...LOL

When I was in my teens I knew this other kid who used to call me bowlegged bandit since I'm bowlegged. So I use to use that name a few years back but shortened it down to just bbandit then threw on an x just to make it sound cool and since I was born in 1979 I slapped 79 on the end. Thus, you end up with bbanditx79.
